I ♥️ all forms of interactive media, from board games to ARGs to business software to conversation. Life is inherently gamified.

I'll keep this account until I know where to find the people important to me.

I may post here now and then in the meantime.

When you go online, your rights should go with you. X is no longer where the fight is happening. EFF takes on big fights, and we win by putting our time, skills, and members’ support where they will have the most impact. Right now, that means Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and https://t.co/vs4H7TJ47R. We hope you follow us there and keep supporting the work we do. https://t.co/umZSYPbhSG (5/5)

Today is Victor Papanek's birthday (22 November 1923 – 10 January 1998). Often called The Father of the Green Design Revolution, his industrial design career and bestselling book Design for the Real World have left a lasting influence in the design industry, and with yours truly.

Thought I'd drop in to Xitter to see how things are going.

Guess I'll try back in another few weeks.

[Richard Gaskin @FourthWorldSys]

Dropped in here to see how it's going. It's only gotten worse. May try again later.

Every minute here fuels the worst this platform offers.

See you on Bluesky...

“Remember when everyone lost their minds over Cambridge Analytica harvesting Facebook data from 87 million people?”

That was adorable.

Because that?
That was the tutorial level.

Today, you are the product.
Your thoughts? Monetized.
Your privacy? A punchline in Silicon Valley.

The “broligarchy” doesn’t want you informed — they want you addicted.

Welcome to the sequel nobody asked for:
Surveillance State 2.0: Now with Bonus Authoritarianism.

And if you think the Stasi had files?
Google’s got receipts on your soul.

@GentleOoze @Clint_Davey1 Where is your paper sourced from?

@ednewtonrex "You see, your honor, it's just like broadcasting a movie. As long as no one can see the movie it's protected. But the moment it's shown to anyone it's publicly available, which makes it public domain. You can tell they're the same because they both start with 'public'."

🚨 I told you all this yesterday. 🚨

SIGNAL cannot be downloaded on government phones with SIPRnet and JWICS secure networks.
